This help topic is applicable to the following TireMaster applications:

TireMaster Point of Sale	TireMaster Plus	TireMaster Corporate

When you add items to a work order, purchase order, or receiving document, you can search for inventory by pressing and typing a code (such as a quick look code) or scanning a bar code.

Here’s how the down arrow lookup method works. When you’re using the Purchase Order, Receiving Documents, or Invoice Entry screen, press to add a line .

You can use either full or partial codes when searching for items with the down arrow lookup method. In some instances, typing the full code results an in an exact match. For searches in which you use a partial code, or when multiple items share a code, the Inventory List displays all items that match.

Note: The order in which TireMaster looks for items depends on how the Sort field is set up on the first tab of the Custom Inventory Lookup screen. For example, when the codes R3B are entered in the Sort field, TireMaster looks for items that match the rim size, followed by those that match the quick look code, and those with the best price.

Tip: Because the order for the down arrow lookup method is determined by the settings on the first tab on the Custom Inventory Lookup screen, you can customize the search order for each workstation. For more information, see Configure the Custom Inventory Lookup Screen.
